Anyone who lets their temper get the best of them in this climate needs to wake up. This supt. will jam us up in a heartbeat.

If asshole throws a beer, call in enough officers with pepper spray and tasers and arrest the clown without a beating and charge him with Agg Batt to a PO and if momma works for IPRA let her be on the news explaining her son's egregious conduct.

Doesn't sound like much compared to many we've all seen but with this sissified coward weis a slap is grounds for federal charges and prison.

Be careful, keep your wits about you, keep cool no matter what. If you are going to go off, leave and let others handle it.

It just isn't worth it for this city, remember your family and your future.

I dont believe they investigate police misconduct incidents, more like iad these days. I might be wrong though. Any answers to that?

10/19/2010 12:12:00 AM

IPRA handles all complaints where there is an allegation of excessive force or all shootings. IAD and your District or Unit sergeants handle the rest, with the majority of all Complaint Log numbers being handled by the District or Unit sergeants. Know your profession, know the orders and especially know your contract. The more you know, the better chance you have of not getting fucked if you ever get caught up in a jam.

Some might claim IPRA shouldn't be investigating if someone they employ has an axe to grind. They'd have a good argument in that case.*************************

I would second that.

I hope they didn't tune up the offender in question. It's a new day now, they will fire and jail us if we allow ourselves to lose our tempers. It's just business, even though the shits we deal with try to make it personal, we have too much to lose.

How did IPRA complete this investigation in 24 hours? This is unheard of. A normal investigation would take weeks. Why was this case pushed soo fast and why such a quick press conference? Something stinks.

If a handcuffed prisoner is spitting on police he is committing a battery and is an Active Resistor at the very least. An open hand stunning blow to the face is a perfectly Justified Use of Force according to the department Use of Force Model against an active resistor (handcuffed or not as taught by the academy). I was not there but hopefully that is all that is on this tape.

------------------Jody doesn't understand this because he would have ran away long before he had the chance to encounter a resister.

Every time that I got into even a slight scuffle with an offender I aways made out an IOD and went to the hospital. Always make sure to tell teh ER Nurse that you are in pain(at least 7 on the scale) and need to get treated. Always take a pain pill if they offer it and if not, request one. If you need a few days off then call in the next day and you know the rest. Well, most of you hair gels wont know what I am talking about.

But yet there is no shortage of hair gels and assorted glory hound suckups that continue to go to the award shows to shake this P.O.S's hand. Wake up, this department will screw, burn, fabricate, conspire, and lead your ass to the guillotine in a second to further the political agenda of the now five stooges,weis,mara,ipra,masters, rahm. Enjoy you careers and just when you think it can't/won't happen to you, boom baby. Thats why you never put all your eggs in one basket. This "burn baby burn" has been going on for decades in the military. Thats why you do your minimal time and get the fuck out.The stooges will all burn in hell but don't let them take you with them. Do anything for this city and you are out of your mind.

Why doesn't someone call the papera to give them a more accurate description of what transpired and with whom they are related to? That would at least blow it up publicly to discredit the B.S charges against those fellow brothers. Once they see a tie from the offender to IPRA/IAD employyees the supernintendo's swift action will look bad. The media is all over this like the Abbate, Cozzi and Jefferson Tap incident. These guys better strike will the iron is hot or they will loose.....

An allegation that a Chicago Police Officer committed misconduct is a serious event for the person alleging misconduct and the officer. Both deserve a thorough, fair and timely investigation of the allegation.__________________________________

This is already NOT happening. This will not be a fair investigation if momma works for IPRA. Total conflict of interest and massive bias against the officers.

79th & Vincennes is a shit corner.Anyone hanging out there was probably in need of whatever hand was dealt them by LEOs. Having said that, we all know there are cameras everywhere. Do only what you need to do, and no more. Drive away with the windows up and the music loud if you must. Protecting your job should be on top of your 'to-do' list every tour of duty.Last, I concur with the poster who said to bring in the Feds to investigate this incident. I think IPRA can't be trusted on this one, and IAD can't be either (full of political hacks who will do whatever the Hall wants them to). Let the Feds check out all the facts, and allow them to call the investigative 'ball' on this one. Anything less will be a farce.

Anonymous said... But we have a carbine program !!! Right ?!!Try signing up for the non-existent class on e-learning ! Hey, Iwas already trained with a shotgun over twenty years ago,if I buy my own,can I bring it to work and lock it in the trunk instead of the carbine ?11What do you say boss???

10/19/2010 01:02:00 AM

THATS ALL THIS CITY NEEDS.... Officers armed and ready to defend the citizens against this "Mumbai" type of attack everyone fears may happen again. The carbine programs is withering away. The shotgun is the simplest weapon to use and much more economical to purchase and maintain. Ammo is cheap. The training is minimal and its a very effective tool. It is an alternative or sometimes more appropriate weapon for an urban environment. The ammo doesnt travel as far as a .556 (M4 round) in case of a stray round and you dont need as much precision with the round placement. The sight of them alone has a psycological effect to disperse most unruly crowds and calm down the aggressors (nice attention get'er), saving Police and people from injury. The more importatant question is..... "WTF do you mean I may not have a pension at the end of my service here!?!?"

I want to have a son and name him Jody. He is an example of courage, prudence, and professionalism. After he leaves I never want to forget the impact he has had on my department and my city. Thank you Jody.

If this kid is the family member of an IPRA employee, then any investigation IPRA conducts wont mean shit since the appearance of it being tainted will negate the results.

A smart move would be to ask the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Unit to investigate. They already investigate shootings for most suburban departments. It's a way to have an impartial, fair and balanced investigation without the politics.

Brothers and Sisters as I was told by very old and tactful,Wagonman/Wagonmaster, Kid you can always go home sick,and then go on the medical. you are just a number,to these phony,pols,and bosses, BLUE FLU,BLUE FLU, and enjoy.

Hey, "news" media outlets, why is it that you do such selective reporting. Take a look at this story. You will see IPRA doing what we as the police should never do, using our "connections" and "influence" to "get even" with someone, or in other cases, "get them out of trouble".

IPRA is not INDEPENDENT. They have an agenda. I guess if the media does not dig into this story they are following their own agenda, again and not an agenda of truth.

TYPICAL SHITTY CHICAGO BEHAVIOR IN THIS, FROM IPRA TO J-FLED TO THE MEDIA.

Word is that this unspeakable act of brutality is nothing more than a "bitch slap". Now, any MAN that grew up in the company of other MEN knows a bitch slap. They happen in locker rooms, bars and parking lots. Fathers deliver them to sons that need them. Some moms do to. They do not constitute brutality.

J-Fled is on a whirl wind TV tour to rejuvenate his embarrassing career. To do this he will throw seven family members under the bus, and not give a thought as to how this will effect wives, children, moms and dads. He is despicable and has absolutely no honor.

He does not care how fluffing up this non-event will cost the taxpayers a bundle when the low life attorneys pick up this streaming pile of crap.

... son of IPRA momma, supposively the the incident also occured under a POD... IPRA should NOT being investigating, sure that will not be an issue for long; willing to bet Jody has already given the video to his FED buddies,,,

One of the accused has a family member that's IAD. The complaining punk's momma works for IPRA.The entire tact team isn't stripped.A couple of watch guys got stripped as well.Every reported account of this story was botched by the media.If the sgt did a TRR and if the right notifications were made , it would have been a BS beef, no more. No one would have gotten stripped.It's a railroad job. It's not as big a deal as the idiotic news and stupid rumors would lead you to belief.Every news outlet got the story wrong.No widescale corruption, brutaliy or coverup. When the facts come out you're all gonna be shocked about what a MINOR incident it was. The little IPRA brat had no injuries whatsoever;he verbally abused the sgt, and spat at him.That's all most of you need to know.Now get a life and move on.And for most of you Monday morning quarterback/gloaters out there, today it happened to them;tomorrow it could be you.

guess what.... the whole thing was caught on a....wait for it.... POD CAMERA!!! but dont worry, they are here to protect us/fight crime... I have only 5 years on this job and im really starting to think this whole tac team thing is not worth it anymore.. the benefits are good but the nonsense is getting out of control... now excuse me, I have to get ready to drive around in my 3x3 block computer generated violence zone!!! numbers numbers numbers! lets see, only 24 years and one day left and I can retire...cool!(and by cool I really mean F*CK!!!!!!!!!!)

The mayor's nephew can raid city pension funds, his son can have illegal/secret sewer contracts with the city, the mayor's guys(Sorich et al.) can go to prison for doing shortshank's bidding in regards to illegally giving city jobs to unqualified individuals in exchange for political favors, but a policeman charged with protecting and serving a city under siege by the rottenest elements of society strikes a piece of vermon for s[pitting on him and Daley speaks out. This city, this county, this state are all rotten to the core with corruption, and the good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are the good guys. Be careful, do the minimum, hopefully find as financially lucrative a career elsewhere and go home every day safely. Give them nothing!

"A Chicago police officer once again faces felony criminal charges after an appellate court struck down a Cook County judge's decision to dismiss the indictment against him.

"The ruling reinstates charges of official misconduct, perjury and obstruction of justice against John Haleas, the Chicago police officer once lauded for racking up the most arrests for DUI in the city.

"The case stems from a 2005 arrest Haleas performed while two prosecutors were riding along with him. He allegedly failed to administer a field sobriety test to the suspect, but the prosecutors later noted that he wrote reports reflecting that he had performed the test. Following an internal investigation, the police department suspended Haleas for one day in July 2007 and in April 2008 he was indicted on the criminal charges.

"In August 2009, Circuit Judge James Obbish dismissed the indictment after finding that the state's use of the internal police statement violated Haleas' Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and tainted the rest of the case against him...."

OT Very important case came down today from an appellate court reinstating a case against CPD officer John Haleas on felony charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and official misconduct Case had been dismissed by a local court after he was forced to make a statement or get fired and the judge ruled that violated his 5th Amendment rights Apellate court now reinstated the case

Does it make a difference with no pension. ? I have posted before with the followingPension goes belly upearliest -2018latest -2022Now there is a study out by Finance geeks saying city pension funds will be bellyup by 2020.Not bad for an old retired guy

10/12/2010 11:17:00 AM

Per Channel 5/WMAQ 5:00 PM News, Alderman Ed Burke told the city council earlier today that 4 of the city pension funds will be belly up by the year 2030 and the only way to stop it would be for the city to put 650 million a year towards pensions for the next 40 years!

Why are we still working? why does anyone wanna be on a tact team? leave the teams, go back to the watch let them fill the spots by reverse seniority, and refuse to wear plain clothes!Who in their right mind would wanna work anything other than PATROL! fuck mobile strike, marine unit, etc. This crap is getting crazy, time for the blue flu!

Lot of rumors out there...but IAD was pissed at Weis' press conference.Who is related to the slappee isn't really an issue.This is what's going to happen:It's ridiculous to strip everybody out there, that will get sorted out later.Once the video is out watch for the vipers to pile on. But it simply isn't close to an Abbate thing.If someone gets charged it will get tossed, and it's a big if.Weis is gone, regardless.

24 hours is normal. Just ask the Bartender when her condo had guns and drugs in it. Weis had her cleared in 24 hours.

O.T. Someone told me aldermen get 100% of their salary after 20 years as their pension Can that be right?? 100 % of their salary for working a part time job for 20 years... Thank God so many end up in jail and don't get it...

10/19/2010 03:25:00 PM

Head on the nail! No idea how the media could have so completely screwed this up. Oh wait: maybe because The Supe held a press conference with BS info! More brillant leadershit.

I wanna see the POD video!!! I demand to see the video footage from the POD! We all demand to see the video!

Wait, I saw the video already from the POD across the street from the parking lot and it doesn't show shit other than blue lights and CPD SUV's! and what does that mean officers??? It means the only thing that can sandbag you is YOU!

IPRA only has what the kid is saying and he has already given statements that are contradicting his original statement.

As an old timer once said to me, "Don't tell on yourself!" Remember that and you'll all be okay!

Who's the dumbass?? Do nothing cops don't get indicted, don't get beefs, don't jeopardize their job or their family and take home the same paycheck as a "working cop". With shit like this going on it becomes more apparent that I'm the dumbass!! From now on I will only worry about me, my family and my fellow police officers. Jody and Daley can kiss my ass!!!

The good ol south side. Thugs shooting each other all day long but God Forbid you give them a little slap to keep them in line. That's what is wrong with this city. Kill each other all day and night. I don't care anymore!

Saw Daley earlier on Channel 7 News putting in his two-cents-worth about how incidents like this are intolerable.

He was surrounded by a group of male black teens who collectively shook their head in disgust at his every word.

I wanted to vomit.

Again...ANYONE* who does any kind of proactive police work is a fucking fool. And don't give me the "court is the best part time job" spiel. If you need the extra cash that bad, find anything else that doesn't require you to gamble every time you put handcuffs on someone or every time you raise your right hand and "solemnly swear".

When you stick your neck out (even a little) to bring in bullshit numbers to keep the supervisors off your back/make some money in court, you are rolling the dice with your freedom, assets, character and overall well being. You don't have to be a genius to figure out the climate has not been in our favor for quite some time, and probably won't be any time soon.

I want to have a son and name him Jody. He is an example of courage, prudence, and professionalism. After he leaves I never want to forget the impact he has had on my department and my city. Thank you Jody.

I have a dog named Jody. He is a prime example of "because he can". He licks his balls all day long.

10/19/2010 05:20:00 PM

you must be new. as the old saying goes, "The worse unit is better than the best district."

Off topic but the latest rumor has surfaced with regard to sending back TRU at the end of the period. Sorry boys and girls if you care. I guess Ernie Brown is actually running the department. God help us all!! Part II of the rumor is that they will be looking for 100 PO's to additional MSF. I say screw them and they get nobody to sigh up for this. Why bother unless you want to take 30 pending.

Weis is just pissed that Anita Alvarez, who you all seem to hate, declined to prosecute the case. Maybe she's not so bad after all. And everyone know that the FED won't prosecute shit here because the offender (sarge) and victim are both black. The white police just stood around. They didn't lay a finger on the guy. No white police slapping people = no civil rights prosecution. Take that shit to the bank, Yo.

BRAVO to Bob Sirott for his commentary at the end of the 9pm news on Fox. He came out and said that Jody is not giving the officers and Sgt due process by disciplining them, before an investigation takes place. Sirott asked how would you like that if you got reprimanded at work for something that your boss never checked into yet? It's about time someone publicly stands up for us !!

I've seen a lot of bizzare crap over 30 years on this job, but this little outburst on the part of JFled is really over the top. Having worked at IAD when it was at 11th and State (a long time ago) it was NEVER the practice to strip anyone unless there was clear criminality involved - and only when an arrest was probable. This situation as reported does not rise to that standard. Touching up a guy who throws an object at an officer or in some way attempts to defeat the arrest is not grounds to immediately strip that officer - especially a supervisor, let alone call a f'n press conference to announce it to the media. Where the f did that shit come from? A situation in which brutality was alleged, OPS (now IPRA), would conduct an investigation and we would do a parallel investigation - depending upon the circumstances. Great pains were taken NOT to violate the officers rights. And, contrary to common belief, most guys who worked IAD had no axe to grind with the rank and file. If you had worked there and actually seen the goofs compared to the actual working coppers who put their safety and health on the line for the city, you would fully understand that petty beefs had no place there. Real criminals, medical abusers, thiefs, gangbangers and dope dealers that wore the uniform were the targets of that division. OPS(IPRA) on the other hand, is merely a political aminal and window dressing for the reverends and criminals who are trying to control this city.For JFled to jump out and make a pronouncement in the manner he did just shows how much of an opportunist and scumbag he is.Well, at least he stopped wearing the uniform since Phil busted him out.

Take this to the bank: Burke is doing Daley's bidding in public. Remember, the Mayor, you know, Daley as in the guy who likes to get aldermen to do his bidding and support his dirty underhanded plans out loud in public before the fact.

Burke, and Daley through Burke, is posturing for changes to the pension system. They are telling the public that gee folks, we will have to fuck you all in the ass to continue paying these greedy city employees those god damned exorbitant pensions; unless, unless you let us change the pension laws to our liking and allow the city get out from under the pension fund payments so that we (Daley) don't have to answer for the years of corruption and mismanagement.

They are seeking to put everything wrong in city government on the backs of retired city workers and skate on billions of pension fund obligations.

Do you really think that Ed Burke, alderman, finance committee chairman, most powerful member of the city council , who knows where all the bodies are buried, is just blowing the fiscal responsibility trumpet because he feels it is wise and prudent to do so?

Yeah? Really? Wow, what a wonderful thing for the wise old Alderman Burke to do for all of us!

Come on! These are the people who have made careers of fucking other people in the ass in political maneuvers and now it is our turn to squeal!

It is posturing, priming the pump to get the pension reforms daley wants, nothing more.

All that hogwash about being partners with the unions and jointly finding a solution?

Pure bullshit.

hey stroke, try to read what he wrote. ald ED BURKE not ed smith. Im sure your reports are written real well my friend. Maybe you need to redo grades k-8 to brush up on your reading skills and attention to detail. Clearly you don't pay attention, just the kind of guy I would want to work with... Hey partner, you see that guy robbing those nuns right in front of us?? Is that condescending enough for ya?

Well if they decide to change our pensions, we can change theirs.. CORRECT?Who deserves a "pension"? A-hol politicians who constantly lie and steal from the citizens or the police who are "Guard to the City"?

and if a handcuffed offender spits on an officer is felony review going to approve any felony charges? i wouldthink no.

10/19/2010 10:22:00 PM

Actually, yes, they will. My partner and I arrested someone 3 years ago and the offender spit food particles on my partner's face. Granted, he had a bad rap sheet, the judge offered 2 years, they turned it down and he got 6. Served 3.

Corn hole ran and got caught with a gun. MF's the police, tussled with them. then once handcuffed, battered the police by spitting in their face (Lets hope dummy doesn't have any diseases). That is a battery to a police officer. If a police officer then pushes, slaps or bends the offenders face away to stop him from continuing to batter any other officers, you're justified. Tell me momma didn't coach her innocent son how to make some $$$ for the famo.

The politicians instruct the CPD suckass political brass as to what the punishment should be. Then the FOP whines and says its not fair while planning their next golf outing.

you must be new. as the old saying goes, "The worse unit is better than the best district."

10/19/2010 09:21:00 PM

Not to my way of thinking. I am in a district, I am left alone mostly. I work alone. I have none of the problems I read about in a unit. I've been to units. There is absolutely no pressure on me to perform. I am already at the bottom rung. I can't get any lower. I smile every day. The worst part is just going to work. Really, this is not bad and I get a nap in on most days.

I answer my calls and go home. No aggravation, no complaining "look what so-and-so got" Just riding out the string.

It is all attitude. This isn't bad. I look busy while doing little. Those who are all pissed off just aren't playing the game properly. Use your head, don't worry, be happy.

the coppers that got stripped should file a law suit against the department and the city for not adequately providing their safety. it is a two way street here. someone has to put these political hacks in their place.

The one who only asked about 1 or 2 serious questions of our FEARFUL LEADER during that lengthy interview, and they were only asked at the end?

Off topic: I heard today that police HQS will be renamed The Public Safety Building and the fire department is taking over the entire 3rd floor. The city is going to eliminate the personal division and outsource it to private industry. I heard this from a very good source.All pre-employment background investigations will be done by private detectives.

Spit in the face of a police officer. Yeah, you may get lucky to have felony review approved agg battery charges but you will NEVER get a conviction with a sentencing of any jail time. Probation probation probation with a message to the offender of it's okay to disrespect the police and to spit in their faces.

What would happen if everyone on tact put in a to-from report that they are not giving up their contractual rights not to have their watch and hours changed at city will or need and all watch personnel followed with the same. Would that cause Jody boy some grief and make alot of people OT. Go for it!

How did IPRA complete this investigation in 24 hours? This is unheard of. A normal investigation would take weeks. Why was this case pushed soo fast and why such a quick press conference? Something stinks.

Which politician, relative or former employee will get this contract?

I remember that interview. All I know is that he was definitely on our side on this one. Who knows, maybe he is waking up and seeing what we are going through. Of course, maybe Jody will run toward the gunfire next time. You never know, just keeping my fingers crossed.

Can tell me how many officers have been stripped, suspended or fired under Jody Weis? I would love to know how many cops have been put through the wringer at the hands of Jody Weis. I have heard of some guys getting just hung out to dry.
